Chapter 61

Lou Xiyue was not in a hurry to see Yan Ruyu, since the whole family had gone out for some reason, calling them back now would be a bit of a fuss.So she said:
"You don't need to bother everyone. Originally, I came here just to chat. Since there is something going on in the house, I don't want to bother you."

Hearing what she said, Old General Yan smiled, and immediately said: "Then ask your mother to have tea before leaving."

Lou Xiyue didn't refuse, sat down and said: "Although your family members are not here, I see that your house is not deserted today. Just now someone went out from the old general's courtyard, it's okay to see me Li. I was wondering, who is that person?"

Hearing this, Yan Ruo thought for a while, then suddenly realized, and replied:
"Your Majesty, are you talking about my nephew? That is the son of my brother who lives in Pingzhou. He is currently working at Princess Anning's residence. He came here today and brought me some things. My Majesty saw him just now."

After finishing the words, Lou Xiyue paused slightly with the hand holding the teacup: "Oh, he is actually working in Princess An Ning's mansion? I looked at him from a distance, and I saw him with a good temperament, especially when he was young, he must be in the princess' mansion. , is it very favored by the princess?"

Old General Yan quickly said: "How can he deserve such praise from the princess, but it's because he is his cousin, so he doesn't dislike it.

"Originally, I saw that he was unlikely to be a great talent in the imperial examination, so I was sent to the princess's mansion to help his cousin with the management. Fortunately, he is still quick in his hands and feet, and he can be regarded as a disgrace to the family."

Although he said so, there was a smile between his brows, which showed that he was still satisfied with this nephew.

Lou Xiyue followed suit with a smile: "The grandchildren of the old general's house are all dragons and phoenixes among the people, so how could they humiliate the family." She turned her head to look at the sky and said:
"Look at me, I didn't pay attention to the time when I came out. It's almost noon, and the prince is going back to the mansion soon. I have to go back and take care of him, so I won't bother the old general."

Lou Xiyue got up to leave, and the old general wanted to see him off and ask him to stay: "Isn't Madam Wangfei going to stay any longer?"

"No, I've bothered you for long enough." Lou Xiyue said: "The old general stays, I'm taking my leave."

The attendant shouted "get up the sedan chair", and the soft sedan chair carried Lou Xiyue to the main gate, and then changed to the sedan chair of Prince Xuanping's mansion.

Qingshuang went to the window of the sedan chair and asked in a low voice: "Madam, let's just go back like this? Don't you want to check any more?"

Lou Xiyue said: "No need. Most of the people in the Yan Mansion are not at home. If we stay any longer, we won't have any more clues. Besides, I've already got the news I want."

She thought for a while and then said, "Tell Zhou Yang to send someone out to find out what the name of Old General Yan's nephew is, how old he is, who he usually hangs out with, and where he likes to go... give them all. I'll find out and report back to me."

Qingshuang nodded: "Yes, I'll do it now."

The people under Master Ban have always been diligent in doing things, and it didn't take much time to go back and forth, so Qingshuang came to report that Zhou Yang had already found out.

Qingshuang: "Zhou's guards came back with news that General Yan's nephew, named Yan Yun, will be 26 this year. He originally lived in Pingzhou with his father, but later went to the capital to join the old general. , find an errand.

"So the old general sent him to the princess' mansion to be Zhuangzi's housekeeper."

Lou Xiyue asked: "What else?"

Qingshuang: "I heard that when he was in Pingzhou, he liked to hang out with street thugs, and he developed a habit of being a jerk. When he had nothing to do, he liked to go to casinos and brothels, where there was a tea shop." Qingshuang remembered something , strangely said:

"But the strange thing is that he goes to a teahouse every day. He often stays there. I don't know what's special about that teahouse."

Lou Xiyue murmured: "The tea house? What's the name?"

Qingshuang: "It is said to be Qing'an Teahouse."

"Okay, I'll remember." Lou Xiyue stood up and said, "You let Caisang change into my clothes tonight, and she will still pretend to be me. If the prince comes back at this time and asks about my whereabouts, just say I went to investigate."

Qingshuang's face changed: "Miss, are you going out again?"

Lou Xiyue: "Don't worry, I will take Zhou Yang with me."

Qingshuang breathed a sigh of relief.She knew she couldn't stop Lou Xiyue, so she could only say: "That girl, you have to be more careful."

"Yeah. Take a good look at the yard."

 I'm coming.Tomorrow is my sister's occasion.
